MRF-260BASE STATION

Introduction

The MRF-260 base station is an “addressable” base station. RF Addressing gives you the ability to control as many as 60 identical components throughout a house. To enable better range and reliabili- ty the MRF-260 is equipped with the Narrow Band RF reception (like the MRF-350), so is only compatible with other Narrow Band remotes.

NOTE: The MRF-260 is ONLY compatible with Narrow Band remotes: the current versions of the MX-3000, MX-950, MX-900, TX-1000, MX-850, MX-650 and the MX-350 remote controls. The MRF-260 is compatible with all MX- 950s, MX-900s and TX-1000s, but is NOT compatible with MX-850, MX-650 or MX-350 remote controls manufactured before November 1, 2006 or an MX-3000 built before April, 2005. You can identify the build date of a remote control by looking at the serial number. The first 6 digits indicate the build date. If the serial number appears as 122905 014054, the first 6 digits indicate that the remote was built on December 29, 2005.

1.MX/TX remote controls send

radio waves in every direction, so your client enjoys “No More

Pointing” operation!

2. The MRF-260’s integrated Narrow Band RF receiver receives com- mands from any Narrow Band remote control.

3.The MRF-260’s built-in Front Blaster sends commands to compo- nents in the same cabinet space as the MRF-260.

4. Self-adhesive “Flashers” affix to the front panels of your client’s compo- nents (over the built-in IR sensor). The Flashers relay commands to components out of sight of the MRF- 260’s Front Blaster. The flashers plug

in to the MRF-260’s rear flasher line outputs via their 10 foot cables. Uniquely, the MRF-260 can also con- nect to rear panel IR Inputs via its two adjustable Outputs.
